This popular WWE champion may have to relinquish the gold due to an injury.
One major champion under the WWE banner might be forced to relinquish the gold.
Injuries are an unfortunate reality of the wrestling business. Performers take extra steps to ensure the safety of themselves and their peers, but things don't always go according to plan. That's why WWE has urged its fans to never try the moves they see on TV unless they are being guided by a professional.
This injury in particular could derail major plans, as the champion in question is a popular superstar in the midst of her hottest run yet.
PWInsider reports that Monday Night Raw's Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley suffered an injury during last week's episode of the red brand. The report notes that the injury is serious enough that there have been talks of potentially vacating the title as soon as tonight's show.
